The implementation of the ideas of landscape design has made it possible to unrecognizably transform many unremarkable sites. Along with the generally accepted and already familiar techniques, innovations that are the "highlight" of the garden and the pride of the owners are especially appreciated.
For its readers, "House of Dreams" has prepared only five ideas for site design, but which can completely transform the landscape.
Artificial swamp
Many site owners underestimate the gift presented to them in the form of low places in the garden where water constantly accumulates. As soon as they do not try to get rid of this: they bring in tons of soil, lay complex drainage systems, the hollow is built up by farm blocks and sheds. What for? After all, in this place, with little effort, you can build a piece of the natural ecosystem - a real mini-bog with its inherent set of wonderful hygrophilous plants, beautifully blooming and pleasing to the eye. In addition, on its own swamp it is possible to grow and useful cranberries, which are considered in our gardens an exotic plant!
The process of creating such a corner of nature is simple: lining the bottom with a perforated black film and sprinkling on top of a slightly acidified soil, which is very popular with many representatives of the marsh flora.
Rockary with artificial boulders
Sometimes you really want to see the neighboring masterpieces or pictures in the magazine, to amaze everyone and create your own rockery. However, the question arises: how to do this, if there is no possibility for any reasons to purchase a natural stone?
There is a simple solution: boulders made by hand. Are they intrigued? For this, hundreds of millions of years are not needed for Mother Nature, and only cement, sand, burlap and wire mesh are used.
From sand, cement and water, a solution is prepared in which the burlap is soaked, spreading it on a metal grid folded in the shape of a boulder. Apply an additional volume on the sacking from the solution, giving the "stone" the desired shape and color( using special dyes).After hardening before you a boulder, from a distance almost indistinguishable from the natural. From a set of such "pebbles" of various sizes, you can build wonderful compositions and even dry streams.
Own railway
Now in the west the idea of arrangement in the garden of a miniature railway is widely spread. The process of creating this miracle is so exciting that it is perhaps the most interesting moment in the event. Is it not interesting to see the world in miniature and embody it on your site? A locomotive with trailers will cross mini-streams with waterfalls and cascades over real mini-bridges, climb slides, passing gorges and passes, cross forests of mini-trees and half-houses with their own made houses.
This road and the process of its creation, as experience shows, brings parents closer to children, forcing them to closely communicate in the production of mock-ups and objects of "railway communication".
Mobile fence
Sometimes on site it is appropriate to equip a protective screen that allows you to hide from an immodest look from a nearby window or gusts of wind. To be able to use shelter in different parts of the garden, it is not necessary to build several screens. The solution is very simple - a mobile screen made up of an elongated container on wheels with a trellis firmly fixed on it. The container is planted in unpretentious perennial or annual vines, such as girlish vine, hops, honeysuckle caprylic, morning glory, kobeja, ehinocystis( rabid cucumber), which will quickly create an effective and dense "curtain".If desired, moving the container around the site, it is easy to get a secluded corner.
In addition to this option, you can also use portable fences or screens. For example, it's good to create a nook in the garden, using a wattle fence.
Hills in the garden of
When building a house there is an eternal problem: where to put the soil lifted from the excavation? Almost all order cars and export surplus land from the site, generating additional costs and depriving themselves of the opportunity to have in the garden quite picturesque hills. True, this "highlight" in landscape design is available only to the owners of very large areas, on which the elevations look very harmonious, animating an even sad landscape.
Large drainage elements are laid at the base of the future hills: building debris from broken brick and slabs, old household appliances, logs and stumps, an infertile soil is poured from above the pit, and above it is more fertile for sowing grasses, ground cover plants and shrubs.
hills. There are so many wonderful landscape design ideas that allow you to create skilful landscapes, that sometimes you do not have time to realize even a small part. However, for enthusiasts and creatives, there are no barriers to flying fantasies on your site. Feel free to apply these or other ideas to your landscape and do not be afraid of original solutions.
